There are a few rules though;

1. Songs must be part of the film, not just crappy remixes or remakes of good songs thrown onto the End Credits to make a few bucks ie: Godzilla, The Album

2. Songs must be heard for longer than 30 seconds in film ie: Person walks into the room and a song is playing in the background for a few seconds).

So here are mine:

Ghostbusters (Great mixture of Score and songs)

Purple Rain (Prince's last good album, he's been downhill ever since IMHO)

Top Gun (Very good)

Beverly Hills Cop (ditto)

I can't think of any others.

Shaun, you better get this, jackass!

NP -- A Celtic Symphony, Sir Granville Bantock

• Blues Brothers
  
• Much Ado About Nothing (Doyle)
  
• Hamlet (Doyle) (although the song is played during the end credits)
  
• The Lion King (yeah, so sew me)
  
• Mulan (again, if you like)
  
• and the various Muppet scores

JJ, I get the Bill Murray thing. You would have to shoot me if I didn't.

Best songtracks that everybody in the world should own:

1. Rushmore
2. Wonder Boys
3. Saturday Night Fever (I can't get enough of Kool & The Gang's "Open Sesame"; that wicked crazy horn part!)

OK, maybe not Saturday Night Fever for everyone. What the hell else IS there? Ah, thought of another good one. Bringing Out The Dead.

I like the soundtrack for Pi.

- There's Something About Mary (Is She Really Going Out With Him, Mary's Prayer, Build Me Up Buttercup.)

- Grease 2 (I have all Michelle Pheifer's albums! )

- Victor/Victoria (The 1982 film on a GNP re-release disc.)

1.Mann:
(a) Heat is the ultimate song/score experience.
(b) Ali II is a great mix of Gerrard's score and the film's extensive catalogue of blues hits.
(c) Insider - since it uses pre-released tracks by Gerrard/Bourke as well as tracks from the incredible Jan Garbarek and a Massive Attack remix to great effect.

2. Scorsese:
(a) Bringing out the Dead
(b) Casino - From Delerue's Camille theme to House of the Rising Sun, this one has it all.
(c) Gangs of New York - Though I'm sure I'd rather have another great Bernstein score, the film's eclectic mix was by no means unaffecting.

3. Wim Wenders - here's the 'man'.
(a) Faraway, So Close
(b) Wings of Desire
(c) Beyond the Clouds (w/ Antonioni) - the use of Van Morrison instrumentals and material from the U2/Eno Passengers album is inspired.
(d) Million Dollar Hotel - Hassell, Bono, Eno and Lanois with the occasional appearance of the rest of U2 and Milla Jovovich. Say no more.
(e) Buena Vista Social Club - probably doesn't count since it's devoted to the music of the Cubans.
(f) Until the End of the World - everyone from here to eternity seems to have contributed a song of some kind to the confused film. It certainly wasn't the soundtrack that let it down.

4. Kubrick
(a) Eyes Wide Shut - is this album not a great parting gift from the greatest of directors?
(b) Full Metal Jacket - give me Nancy Sinatra... "These boots are made for walkin' ."

Off the top of my head, a Radiohead instrumental was used to great effect in Unfaithful, and whenever John Barry writes a song, it fits the film pretty well (think 'The Last Valley' or 'The Lion in Winter').

Pulp Fiction
Reservoir Dogs
